Mövenpick Resort Kuredhivaru Maldives

Our family of 8 spent more than a week on this island. We spent every year one week together and always in the Maldives. After extensive reearch ,we picked the Movenpick because we thought it checked all the boxes . Wide beaches with no erosion, no damm in front of the beach, all inclusive, poolvillas and Western food. Not only was everything as we expected , every wish came true. The food was the best we experienced in the Maldives. The team went the extra mile to provide anything we wanted. Our table under the palmtrees was prepared for us with all the drinks we liked at every meal . Our grandchildren liked the Kids club very much (they rarely do) because the crew had a innovativ schedule and interesting games ready. Thank you . There were balinese beds on the beach with a bells to ring for waiter service , so one could have drinks on the beach. We were on 7 different Maldives islands ( Emerald, Atmosphere, Como, .....)before but Movenpick was by far the nicest and best value. We want to thank the team for a wonderful holiday .

If you are looking to WoW experience at all levels definitely this resort should be at your top list of places that you should try. Beaches are stunning, the vegetation of the island is well taking care and make you feel that you naturally blend with normal island habitat. Rooms and amenities are luxuriously and outstandingly clean. But No.1 that made our stay unforgettable is THE HOSPITALITY, resort staff were incredibly superior to any other resort that I ever tried in Maldives or any other place. Special thanks to our host Ms. Li as she was always tried to make our stay memorable as she can and interestingly always did her job with smile. Moreover, Mr. Gihan from Budomas restaurant, he was incredible eager to maximize our enjoyment to a new level and unforgettable one combining that with obviously huge experience to how to meet guest expectations. Special thanks to the following names: Ms.Rejina as we used to be greeted by her smile and kindness, Mr. Sunneel with his delicious Matcha, Mr. Beral and his wellness to achieve what ever you want to eat, Mr. Danusha for his sweetness and his delicious sweet, Mr. Auvaan for his readiness to help in the front desk and last but not least Ms. Panida from the Spa with her every morning touch after the breakfast. This outstanding hospitality was not achieved if there is no efficient and effective leadership so special thanks to Renish front office manager as he was always near to tackle any issue we might face. I’m sure this outcomes of outstanding hospitality is result of team work but definitely there is a guy who’s behind that so Big thanks goes to the GM Mr. Stanislaw Pajednizky. Some area of improvement as following: 1- Airport transfer as it need two stops prior to resort arrival by seaplane 2- Villa pool as it’s shallow 0.8 m 3-Privacy for outdoor shower Finally I had a great time in this resort and interestingly I used to say you shouldn’t repeat your visit to same resort in Maldives unless it’s your 101 visit :) but as I visited Maldives six times I’ve my doubts now ;)

Our stay at Mövenpick Maldives was nothing short of a dream vacation now fulfilled. We planned this trip over a year ago and it is hard to believe it is over and we are making the long trip back home to winter in Alaska 🥹. We can’t say enough about this resort. Every staff member we interacted with said they had come to Mövenpick because they are treated well, and their happiness is truly reflected in the high quality of service they provide to all guests. We have come to love travel so much and meeting people from all over the world opens your mind and shows how very much alike we all are despite having different languages and cultures. Now on to the specifics…. The over water ocean view villa was AMAZING! The room and bathroom were so spacious and the large open deck with infinity pool just steps away served as our own little private sanctuary to reconnect with each other on our 30th wedding anniversary. Kaleem cleaned our villa twice a day and left us many memorable treasures from the beautiful welcome 30th Anniversary decoration on the bed, our soaking tub filled with rose petals and palm leaves, and fun towel creatures decorated with hibiscus flowers and my reading glasses! Love!!! The breakfast buffet was filled with fresh delectables from all over the world. We enjoyed a different breakfast each morning and experienced cuisines from many different cultures. We found the dinner choices endless as well from the buffet at Ono Marché, a pre-fix menu at Latitude 5.5, the wonderfully delicious Bodumas featuring an ala carte Japanese menu (our go to), and finally a private wine pairing dinner at Oak Lounge which was nothing short of spectacular. Tendai, the sommelier who checked on us throughout our stay, was one of our favorites at the resort and became a friend over our time in the Maldives. We must also express our deepest gratitude to Shair, Shafiz (with the really good hair 😄), Max, Deepak, and Nang for their world class service each time we sat down to enjoy a meal and drink. Although we may not have interacted directly with the chefs and bakers they too need to be recognized for the quality of food provided each and every day and all of the guests we interacted with said the same. The activities on the island are endless and we enjoyed many including the jet boots, windsurfing, world class snorkeling/diving where we saw nurse and reef (black and white tipped) sharks, turtles, octopus, lobster, cuttlefish, rays of many varieties, and a vast array of the most beautiful fish and sealife. We took the romantic sunset and stargazing excursions and talked at length with Saan, the underwater photographer and local Maldivian with many stories to tell of growing up in such a beautiful and remote area. Of all that I have mentioned above, our favorite each night was playing volleyball with Gayan (Coach), Akshay, the unbelievably good staff members from Nepal, the band members, and other guests. So much fun and many very good at the game we love! The spa was fabulous and the attention provided by Karn and Tshering was personalized with great attention to detail. The location of the massage rooms in the over water villas was the best we have ever seen. As we entered into a state of deep relaxation we could watch the fishes and rays meander below. Oleks and Niu in the photography studio created an album filled with photographs that could be pulled out of any travel magazine….the quality was so so good! This will be a treasure our kids and grandkids will enjoy long after we are gone ❤️❤️. And last but not least is the care provided by our personal concierge, Ruksar. She was truly amazing and handled any question we had with grace. With so many different nationalities and personalities she interacts with daily her job cannot be easy. She scheduled all of our events and checked in on us each day to ensure we were doing well. The care she provided was world class and we have no doubt that she will be managing her own hotel some day in the near future. For someone on her mid-twenties, Ruksar is an old soul and exudes professionalism in every way. She is an example of the high standard Mövenpick has created. We hope we have not missed anyone but to all again, our sincerest thank you for making this a trip of a lifetime that we will never forget!

We had a great time at the Movenpick resort Kuredhivaru and felt like being in paradise I. The water villa was fantastic and the food excellent. In the evening we had much fun with great music and super salsa dancers. And all employees were so friendly, always with a smile, and a „how was your day?" or „have happy day!" Thanks to everyone for making our vacation so wonderful and unforgettable!!!

The staff is professional the very warm welcome the food is of very good quality the activities around the spring are all simply amazing without forgetting the pool party with the best dj in the place
